Next Case Studies

For the EU C-ROADS project, Aimsun is helping to develop Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) by simulating cooperative V2X communication.

Tauranga's existing strategic travel demand model has been closely coupled with a new hybrid mesoscopic-microscopic supply model in Aimsun Next.

In the context of the competition for redesigning the Eiffel Tower area by 2023, the Paris City Council commissioned a wide-area microscopic model for the contestants to use to present their project proposals.

The New Delhi hybrid model incorporates a wide range of vehicle types, and a specially adapted version of the microsimulator can include non-lane-based behavior.

Eurotunnel's Strategic Development team used Aimsun Next to test different scenarios for the layout at the Calais freight terminal. The optimum layout selected allows Eurotunnel to fulfill or even exceed its promise to clients of a total journey time of 90 minutes.

In this road sharing study, SCEP used Aimsun traffic modelling software to define the optimal length and position of the reserved lanes for buses and taxis on the Paris ring road and the section of the A6a serving Orly airport.

Le service Circulation et Stationnement de la Direction Générale Adjointe Mobilité de la Ville de Nîmes a maintenant à sa disposition un modèle macro Aimsun de toute la ville calibré et calé sur les données de comptages 2015 de Nîmes.

The Department of Transportation Planning and Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is developing a detailed traffic model of the entire metropolitan area of Athens for simulating road traffic and supporting energy-efficient transport decisions.

Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) is developing an innovative, multi-layered traffic model of Sydney’s central business district (CBD) to test the impacts of a wide range of projects particularly the introduction of light rail through the city centre.

The New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) are embarking on an ambitious program to provide TSP to 6,000 buses in New York City.

The city of Belo Horizonte is hosting the 2014 World Cup and the issue of public transport is taking high priority. Among the plans is the implementation of a set of bus priority corridors, following the BRT models already in operation in even larger cities such as Curitiba and Bogotá.

The pioneering SimFrame is a multipurpose, multilayer traffic simulation framework for the freeway and major arterial road network in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The model is to become MTO Central Region’s primary tool for future traffic analysis as part of planning and design, operational reviews and traffic management strategy decision-making.

In preparation for major new infrastructure developments in Hong Kong's CBD, the Transport Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region commissioned Arup to conduct a large-scale assessment of the the impact of the revamp on the local traffic. Arup's proposed layout aims to reduce congestion by diverting road-based traffic to rail-based public transport.

Modelle (TECTRAN Group) is using Aimsun software in a series of ongoing deployment studies as part of the Transport Strategic Plan for the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The plan includes a special lane network dedicated to the Olympic Family, prioritising participants' circulation during the event, either through segregated tracks or priority shift.

The Manhattan Traffic Model (MTM) is one of the most complex large-scale simulation models currently in existence. The MTM will permit the consistent assessment of the network-wide cumulative impact of current and future traffic management projects and provide a platform for future analyses and expansion to other boroughs and, where possible, the region.
